Check the evidence
We explain whether a result comes from cells, model organisms, observational data, or clinical research.
About
A science magazine made by BASIS students.
BASIS SciMag gives students a place to write about biology, ecology, genetics, neuroscience, and scientific methods. We make science approachable for students, families, and educators while keeping sources, uncertainty, and careful editing visible.
Editorial principlesHow we work
Explain uncertainty
We include limitations and open questions so readers understand what a study does and does not show.
Label and credit visuals
Captions explain what an image shows, who made it, and whether it is a photograph, diagram, or illustration.
Write for understanding
We explain technical terms clearly while preserving the science behind them.
For students
